Hey all. I've got a buddy who has an antiquated rig that he's getting ready to upgrade. He needs a new video card, and I want to help him out a bit. He has a 24" monitor, and he'd like to be able to play BF2 (bad company?) and CoD4. I don't know anything about the real requirements to play those games, and I don't know ATI cards well since I started folding. Can you good folks help me figure out what range of video cards to start looking at for him? Thanks!

what does he actually have?

He doesn't even know exactly, but something along the lines of an 8400GS. He thinks his motherboard is dying, I haven't checked it out. So, he's going to buy a new mb and have me help him get it set up. I don't want to advise him to buy something rediculous, because he's not an o/c'r or a computer nut. I'm looking for the right bang for the buck price point.
